Re: [WISPA] Another Ubiquity question
I have done this at home with a Pico M2HP. My setup has two 60w 12v solar panels connected to a charge controller with 2 12v 55AH AGM batteries in parallel. The Pico is connected to the load output of the charge controller with a DC input POE injector that I bought from Amazon for about $10. The setup works pretty good and I've had my first true test of the battery bank this past month. Its rained here every day for the last three weeks. --Eric Roth Network Engineer Webjogger Internet Services (845) 757-4000 www.webjogger.net From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 1:51 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Another Ubiquity question ~12v should be OK by specs, but I've never heard of anyone doing such a low voltage to a Ubnt device.

Some up, some down. As the anniversary of my full 8th year actively in the wireless internet business is here, I decided to make some comments. My interest in wireless internet, and actual efforts to actually start doing it are now 14 years old. Yes, really, it was that long ago. And I'm feeling much older these days. My first internet venture failed quite spectacularly. I think I made every mistake one could make, and didn't learn every lesson there was to learn, either. But it did help, as I did not repeat a bunch of things that were fatal. The most important one was to not start with vastly larger bills than your revenue. Growth doesn't always come in rapid fashion. And there's a cost to all growth. Know before you make that leap, what the consequences will be. Over the last few years, I've been known to get what some people call political. Perhaps it is, I say it isn't. It's just common sense business principles. It was one of my first lessons - learn how to preserve your future flexibility, because THINGS CHANGE. That, too, was one of my first mistakes. I had no alternatives, really, to travelling down the road I started on, which was a seriously bad mistake. That ability to be flexible, to violate the rules of internet by wire, is what created the WISP business in the first place, and yet, it's one of the things that's been done the most damage to, and faces the largest threats in the future. This post is probably my last, as it concerns things WISPA. I have given up on WISPA completely. Mostly for the reasons above. While WISPA was being formed, I had the self-generated illusion that fellow WISPS's would be all about getting, expanding, and maintaining the freedom to be in business. We're notorious for being rogues, cowboys, unconventional, and extremely individualistic. It would have never occurred to me that one or more founders of WISPA would go to the FCC and tell them that they should create reporting mandates and then encourage regulation of our industry. My shock when I learned that was a kind of rock your world kind of thing. And anger. Serious anger. How dare people undertake to put us under the thumb of the utterly incompetent idiots in Washington DC? If you want to live that way, go live some place like that, don't undertake to force it upon me. That's the essence of the American attitude, history, and the very thing that built this country. Over the years, I've come to realize that unlike me, few of our industry have any such lesson learned. The idea of getting free money or loans or other favors in the form of money from government or government actions has lured them into becoming just another faction of the crony capitalism that has all but destroyed our nation's economy, currency, and threatens to finish the job, rapid-fire. WISPA certainly doesn't seem to have any interest in telling Washington DC to go pound sand, and do what is the morally, economically, and Constitutionally right and proper thing. Leave us the HELL ALONE! Stop pretending that DC is the source of goodness, and stop pretending that they have even an IOTA of the answers for what ails the country and how to supply our needs. They do not. I won't waste your time with explanations of what I want, after all, either you're in agreement, or else your only interest is in creating false portrayals to attack me personally, calling me an anti-government nut or any of 100 other senseless phrases. Some of you I've gotten to know a bit over the years, and I have no idea if any of you are on this list anymore. Maybe someone will post this where everyone can read it if they want. Why we can't advocate for economic and business operation freedom anymore is completely beyond my comprehension. Especially since we're supposed be about business, a business which exists solely because of that amazing concept of economic and personal liberty otherwise known as capitalism - or free enterprise - take your pick. It offends too many, and those who it doesn't are too too timid to stand for what they think in the presence of the socialist bullies. It's my wish and my prayer as well, that all of you have a good life, a prosperous future, health, and happiness. But I hold out little hope, long term. Unless things change, we're all going away, our plans and enterprises massacred by the attitude that all our needs are merely a utilitarian function of government. Still, I hope the best for all - and always have and always will. Mark ++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200
Re: [WISPA] painting an antenna
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to send them to my customer and let them decide how they want to paint it. --Eric Roth Network Engineer Webjogger Internet Services (845) 757-4000 www.webjogger.net From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 8:21 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] painting an antenna Quick answer... stix primer from Lowes A couple tips on Painting You must use non-metalic non-carbon paint, to avoid RF loss. As well, you must use a paint that bonds properly to your specific material Steel, Aluminum, Plastic, ABS. There are many types of plastics, and they each have their own chemical requirements for proper paint type for bonding. Many paint types used or recommended by radio manufacturer are paids for high production factory applications, and not typically sold in small quantity and often require sprayers. The easiest way to solve the problem is to use a Primer. If you use the proper primer, then you have the option to use a wide varierty of inexpensive over the counter paints with worry free bonding. Stix is an excellent choice for Primer. Its sold at Lowes, inexpensive, and can be used over metal and most plastics, such as those used most commonly for Antenna radomes. After one coat of Stix, you can then paint over it with standard exterior household latex paint. We use Valspar Duramax Exterior Latex, with FLAT finish, also sold at Lowes. (You still need to make sure paint is non-metallic/non-carbon, which the Valspar is.) We prefer Flat instead of Gloss paints because, when an antenna is high on a roof, glossy paint will reflect the sun more, and make the antenna look like a bright light, and stand out like a sore thumb. Primers are also easy. You'll will only need one coat of paint over the primer. The paint should be applied over the primer before the primer is fully dry, for optimal bond. (obviously not when the primer is still wet.). Generally, paint can go on within 30min after primer applied. Using hardware store stock paint, allows you to save a bunch compared to specialty paint stores. For example, a common Sherman Williams or McCormick paint design for Plastic without a primer could easilly cost $150-$200 a can, where as a gallon of ValSpar is $30, and Stix about $20. What happens if you dont use a good primer, and just paint household paint on Plastic? Well, within 6 months, the paint will be peeling off everywhere and make a big mess. If you have a good place to paint in advance, sure there are many good choices for acrylics, enamels, or oil based. But using water based Latex makes for easy clean up, and easy re-painting if ever needed, which works well for field painting. Dont get confused by all the different paint types, that cobine types, for example acrylic latex, or acrylic enamel, etc. It doesn't really matter, when painting over Stix. As long as using the good primer, Latex should work fine. The other thing is, painting over a pre-existing paint with the wrong type can cause negative chemical reactions, and also cause poor bonding, or peel after words. The solution to that is to use the Stix primer. It can be painted over most factory paints without worry, and allows most paints to be painted over the Stix. The secret is the Primer, not the paint.. I'm not saying that Stix is the best, but I know Stix is non metalic and non carbon and meets the requirements for antenna painting. Many Primer manufacturers do not like to disclose what their primer is made of because its their secret competitive recipe, so its hard to get out of the manufacturers whether it is metalic or carbon based or the loss it could have to RF. Another note, Paint looks a different color indoor than it does outdoors. I'll mix it to look light, and then outside it will look to dark. So make it lighter than you think you should. Also note, its much easier to make paint darker, than it is to make it lighter. So if you make it to dark, it takes a lot of paint added back to lighten it up. As for color choice... I've had little luck painting to match the sky. The reason is the color of the sky changes depending on the time of day and the weather. If trying to match the sky, use a lite (almost white) sky blue. I prefer to match antenna paint to the same color as the building it is mounted to, because a perfect match can be obtained, so it blends in with the building, and does not stand out. Anythign a different color than the building will draw the eye's attention to it. Painting to the sky color only makes the antenna look transparent 25% of the day, when it matches the sky, and the rest of the day when it doesn't, it stands out.

Re: [WISPA] Authentication for WISP's
It works like an IDS. Say you have your system set up to allow all users in a specific group access to the network, and then one of those uses doesn't pay. You can remove that user from the allowed users group and then they will get sent to the default vlan that doesn't have any access to the internet. When they pay up, you add them back to the group and then they are allowed back on at the next EAP request from the access point. If you research IDS systems, you'll find a lot of useful information. --Eric Roth Technology Specialist Webjogger Internet Services (845) 757-4000 www.webjogger.net From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Josh Bowsher Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 9:58 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Authentication for WISP's Eric, No I hadn't thought of that but I am interested in hearing more about it.

I know from talking to Butch Evans less than a month ago that he has a system that allows you to setup DHCP at the Router, The DHCP relay Authenticates the Mac against the Radius and gets the assigned IP, creates the queue and reports back to the radius and accounting info. We still use Hotspot on ours and have no issue, but I am not the programmer and cant give you any info with how that is handled. I do know that they have told me that with hotspot it makes it easier to direct customers to a payment portal when suspended and it is the same setup if we put a hotspot in a public area to get short term customer logins at an event.
